| Over the years I have watched a number of muskie fishing videos shot on Lake St. Clair.

I can't remember ever having seen a surface bait being thrown. Is there a reason for this? Has everyone ever thrown surface baits, and if so, have you ever had any success? |

The more weight you put on bucktails the faster and deeper you can run them. It's not like you have to worry about getting hung up in the rocks.:-)
